Just finished my first year at uni (computer science degree(game development))

I was coding a simple tank game in XNA game studion 4.0, got as far as it levels up, start- finnish screen several differnt types of enemies, just the

basic elements.Then took nine months of to concentrate on uni, come back to it as i can try and complete it before september when uni starts again then to my horror i find out microsoft have pulled the plug on XNA game studio.

Whats the best thing i should do as im comfortable coding in c# with XNA and my game is only half finished, any suggestions would be appreciated.

kind regards

Depends on your definition of support.

XNA is based on DirectX 9 and that era of SDKs. Those technologies are not changing, consequently there is little need for XNA updates. In that regard XNA is a fixed target.

Microsoft has said it has no plans to update the SDK. This makes sense because it is used primarily for Xbox 360 and that hardware is not changing. Perhaps in nine months or a year they will announce a successor or update to handle XBox One, but that is just wild speculation and rumor.

Many people still actively use XNA because they want to publish their games on the Xbox 360's XBLIG service, or because they want to use the features XNA offers.

There are many active communities of XNA developers.

Ok cheers guys thanks for the feedback.
